Free-Verse Editing

• Proofreading: I look for typos and spelling mistakes. For stories under 800 words, this is usually $25-$50.​

• Basic copyediting: In addition to the above, I check grammar, punctuation, language, and syntax. For stories under 800 words, this is usually $50-$100.​

• Developmental editing: I do a full, substantial, structural, developmental edit, which includes everything that's involved in proofreading and copyediting, plus a detailed critique of the essential elements of the story. For stories under 800 words, this is usually $50-$150.
